So I am a bit mixed on this Mega evolution. I think it could be done right, but I doubt it will be. It could be a temporary mechanic. Like how Mewtwo can only change for a bit in the anime prologue (I'm sorry I haven't seen the movie), but then it changes back quickly as if the "Mega" form took all of it's energy. I was questioning this while watching the prologue too, why he wouldn't just stay in this forme that seems rather superior and faster than he was. I think these formes will be temporary, as in only during one battle or even just one move. (Like critical hits, you could change forme but there is a low chance). This is also justified by the fact that the Pokemon shown would be way stronger than anything we have seen before, therefore draining them a lot quicker. The fact that their names don't change could also hint at this explanation.

However, we have seen a bit of a shift as the handheld devices become more and more graphically capable, that GF likes to make more and more intricate designs. I can believe these are real because a) the designs are something GF would do since they have been given 3D model capabilities b) 1.7 GB of data. c) Like others have said, the scans looks flawless.

These could also be formes which has obviously been thought of by most of this thread's online posters already. I don't think this would be a bad thing if done correctly. (I never played Digimon however, and I understand some of you don't like the ideas crossing) I could see a trainer being able to adjust the genes of Pokemon to this Mega forme, but also being able to come back. I believe more strongly in the first section of this post, but switchable formes have been done by legendaries and GF could just be expanding it to all Pokes. I do not believe that they are going to give this form to a select few lines, but more likely all lines. So, I suppose, we will see what happens with Mega formes. In the future, we probably will come to enjoy them, just as everything before them.

Yay my favorite pokemon gets an upgrade! go mega LUCARIO. So is this new forms or an evolution? Oh and now i must transfer my lucario into X and my ampardos hopefully a lvl 100 can use this new method.

I don't know... mega evolution and mega pokemon... they are really cool for the games and the competetive field (great) but I DON'T THINK it is going to fix in the anime... c'mon... BLAZIKEN EVOLVES???!

I think they're pretty cool. Not especially keen on Blaziken and Lucario, but Absol and Mawile look great.

Except look at those stats. Unless it gets a huge stat boost as Mega Mawile, it will still fall quicker than you'd expect against other things.

I don't understand why people keep thinking Mega Pokemon are so overpowered. There is nothing saying that these Pokemon will have a higher BST. Judging from other form changes, stats will likely be changed around, and if BST does change, it won't do so greatly. Remember, these are still the same Pokemon, so expecting a huge BST is a little extreme.

MegaMawile has Huge Power. Huge Power on a regular Mawile would make it have higher attack than Rampardos.

Same here. I honestly didn't think the news would be this big so I am happily surprised. I don't want every Pokemon get mega versions though only some. It'll definitely been interesting to see how this new mechanic plays out. Also Electric/Dragon MegaAmpharos is full of win!
